9. Validity: Every certificate of authorization issued by the Minister pursuant to section 22 of the Act to allow the working of a pit or quarry shall be valid only for the operating site described or mentioned in the said certificate of authorization. Any enlargement of the operating site beyond the limits already set out in a certificate of authorization must be the subject of another certificate of authorization as if it were a new pit or quarry.
The same applies in any case where a new operating site is established near an operating site which has already been the subject of a certificate of authorization.
